Method

The procedure can be split up into five phases:

Phase 1: Preparing the chemicals
Phase 2: Mixing the chemicals into the farm soil
Phase 3: Placing the worms into each farm
Phase 4: After 1 day, measuring the worms via the Spikerbox
Phase 5: Looking at the Audacity wave output and finding the
difference in time between channel 1 and 2

Figure 9 illustrates the set up of the testing apparatus.

Materials

Equipment:
1 SpikerBox
1 laptop/computer
4 worm farms
Audacity software
1 knife
1 cutting board
1 pair of Goggles
1 plastic rod
1 metric scale
1 mask (breathable)

Lab Materials:
2 quantity of 100 red worms
1 bag of worm bedding
Distilled water
5 large onions
2 Mace Pepper Gun Refill Cartridges, 2-Pack OC Pepper
Spray
1 bag of organic soil
1 quantity of Magic Worm Food
1 quantity of 100 mg Nonivamide
1 liter of 100% Ethyl Alcohol

Figure 7 illustrates how I got the

difference in time to find the
mean conduction velocity of the
worm subject.

Conclusion

Chemicals that have lachrymatory agents affect the speed of a

sensory neurons synapse
These chemicals have a lasting effect on the neuron long after the
time of contact
You can see the effect the chemicals have on the worm a day after
while also seeing it mathematically
Low concentration Lachrymatory agents have a higher effect on
the sensory neuron.
High concentration Lachrymatory agents are probably too strong
for the neuron, maybe killing it little by little and so it results in a
lower conduction velocity.

Societal Impact

Tear Gas is a lachrymatory agent,

which, as a conclusion from this
experiment, detrimentally affects the
sensory neurons of the human body
Tear gas affects the peripheral
nervous system of a human, actually
hurting the human long after time of
contact
Restriction of tear gas use by state
and local police forces
